½cuppomegranate arils
3tablespoonpeanuts
salt to taste
Tempering
1teaspoonpeanut oil
½teaspoonmustard seed
1 or 2green chilies , finely choppedadjust according heat preference
Instructions
Wash the sprouts in water and let it drain in a colander. I have used raw sprouts in the salad recipe. You can also steam the sprouts for 5-8 minutes and add in the salad.
Wash all the veggies in water. Peel the carrot, cucumber and raw mango. Chop them all in to uniform bite sized cubes.
Add all the chopped vegetables into a wide bowl. Add the sprouts to this and toss well.
To this now add fresh coconut and salt. Toss well.
Heat a tadka pan with oil mentioned under tempering. When hot splutter mustard seeds, add chopped green chilies and curry leaves. pour this sizzling tadka over the salad
In the same tadka pan, roast the peanuts and add it to the salad. Finally add the pomegranate arils, Toss to mix well.
Let the salad sit covered for 10 minutes for the flavors to mingle. Then serve.
Any leftover salad, can be refrigerated in an air-tight container and used within 4-5 hours. Since we have added salt, there is a chance of it leaving water, if stored for more time.
Make ahead
If you are planning to make the salad ahead. Then add salt, peanuts and pomegranate just before serving. This way the salad wont leave water and will stay fresh while serving.
